Chapter Text
The smell of cheap liquor filled the mess hall, Hange was ranting on about how titans would react under alcohol, they were clearly drunk, arms wobbling and voice slurred. Levi never took part in these events he only stood by in case any fight broke out.
He noticed you, sitting in a corner beside the very drunk Hange holding a mug of ale carefully. You looked exhausted, a sheen of tears rimmed your eyes. He saw you take a sip, then another until the mug was over. You then simply slumped your head on the table and fell asleep in an instant. Out like a light.
"Dammit" Now he was responsible for making sure you and Hange got to bed safely. To be fair you didn't really make it hard for him when you simply switched off and slept when you got overwhelmed. Of course you used poison to drown out your sadness. That meant you were hurting more than you let on. "Stupid" But he was really more worried that you'd take up this bad habit. At the same time he was almost jealous how you fell asleep so fast. With a grumble he shook your shoulders. "Don't pass out here like a damn drunkard." Hange then laughed loudly at their own drunken joke about force-feeding titans vegetables. He shot them a glare.
He then turned to you again. Noticing how your head stayed adamantly slumped. He shook you once again.
Nothing.
Not even a flinch.
"Tch Lightweight."
He sat beside you throughout the 'celebration' watching for fights. You were great company anyways since you were passed out, since the others were in a noisy drunken frenzy.
He then pulled you up by the shoulders, lifted you up like a sad sack of potatoes and carried you to bed. Despite his earlier gruffness he laid you gently on your bed. His hands pulled up your covers to your chin to keep you warm. "Don't make a habit of it." That's when you stirred a little, and spoke in a whiny, drunken tone. "Goodnight Captain" A tiny smirk formed on his face. "Goodnight, lieutenant."
